Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

Slow-Cooker Mongolian Beef

Description

We love Mongolian Beef, and this is a quick way to make a very tasty meal with a lot of ease!

Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

2 tablespoons gingerroot, peeled and finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

3 lb beef stew meat

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup beef broth (from 32-oz carton)

3/4 cup julienned carrots

2 teaspoons cider vinegar

1/4 cup green onions, sliced thinly on the diagonal

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seed

Directions

Spray 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.  In slow cooker, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gingerroot and garlic.  In large bowl, toss beef with flour to coat. Discard any excess flour.  In 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Transfer to slow cooker. Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and half of beef.  Add broth to skillet; heat to boiling over medium-high heat, scraping up any brown bits at bottom of skillet. Add to slow cooker; stir to combine.  Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until beef is tender and sauce is thickened. Add carrots and vinegar to slow cooker; stir to combine. Cover; cook about 30 minutes or until carrots are tender.  Garnish with green onions and sesame seed. Serve with cooked rice, if desired.

Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

Pegu Club

Description

The Pegu Club cocktail originated the Pegu Club in Rangoon, the capital of Myanmar or Burma, which was formerly part of the British Empire. The Pegu Club, named for the nearby Pegu River, made its way around the world with Brits and foreigners alike in the early 20th century. No one is certain who created it or when it was invented, but it must have been before 1927, as that was the year of publication of Harry MacElhone’s Barflies and Cocktails, which was the first book to make mention of the Pegu Club. From there it became a mainstay in bar culture and a clear cultural reference.

Ingredients

2 Ounce(s) Gin

1/2 Ounce(s) Orange curacao

1/2 Ounce(s) Fresh Lime Juice

1 Dash(es) Angostura Bitters

Directions (Cocktail)

Stir with ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Serve in a Cocktail Glass.

Russ’s Drink Corner

2Bar Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon

Description

Over a century ago the 2BAR ranch was founded in Texas. For five generations the 2BAR brand has stood for quality, independence, and hard work. Those values are brought to 2BAR Spirits, where locally grown grain is milled, mashed, fermented, distilled, and aged in oak barrels. We do all of this with one goal in mind: make a damn fine whiskey. We remain true to that lineage at our distillery in Seattle, Washington. Our single minded focus on making great whiskey is what motivates our team every single day. We do it the hard way because it’s the right way. At the end of the day it’s just really good whiskey, made by people with relentless passion.

Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

One-Pot Enchilada Rigatoni

Description

Winter is the time of year where I love casseroles and hearty meals.  But, sometimes it gets boring when it’s an Italian themed item.  This recipe is in my “to try” list, because it sounds fantastic with an added spin on it that takes the Italian away from it!

Ingredients

1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef

1 can (19 oz) Mild enchilada sauce

1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk

1 lb uncooked rigatoni pasta

1 can (11 oz) whole kernel corn with red and green bell peppers

2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (8 oz)

Directions

In nonstick 5-quart Dutch oven, cook beef with salt to taste over high heat, stirring frequently, until brown. Do not drain.  Add enchilada sauce, evaporated milk, 4 cups hot water, the pasta and corn. Heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 15 minutes, stirring occasionally; do not drain.  Remove from heat; stir in cheese. Serve topped with crushed tortilla chips, cilantro and chopped green onions, if desired.

1 part coffee liquor (like Kahlua)

3 parts heavy cream

Directions (Cocktail)

Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker: add ice and shake!  Strain into a glass. Garnish with nutmeg to add a warm-spiced flavor to the drink.

Rum Cake

Description

A tasty addition to your dessert table for your holiday dinner… or anytime you’re wanting a delicious cake! Rich, K0EB, requested a rum cake.

Ingredients (Cake)

1 box (about 18 oz.) yellow cake mix

1 package (3.5 oz.) instant vanilla pudding mix

4 whole eggs

1/2 c. cold water

1/2 c. canola oil

1/2 c. rum (dark or light is fine… but dark is better!)

1 c. chopped pecans

brown sugar (optional)

Ingredients (Glaze)

1 1/2 sticks of butter

1/4 c. water

1 1/2 c. granulated sugar

3/4 c. rum

Directions (Cake)

Preheat oven to 325F. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan (you can cheat and use “Bakers Joy”, if you like!). Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan. If desired, sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar over the nuts (extra yum). Mix all cake ingredients together. Pour batter into pan over nuts. Smooth out ’til the top is even. Bake for 1 hour, or a little less if the pan is black. Do not overbake.

Directions (Glaze)

When cake has ten minutes left to bake, make the glaze. Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn off flame and pour in rum. Stir to combine and reheat for 30 seconds. Remove cake from oven. Immediately drizzle 1/3 of the glaze on the bottom (top) of the cake. Allow to sit for five minutes. Invert the cake onto a serving plate. Thoroughly (and gently!) prick surface of cake with a fork.  Slowly drizzle remaining rum glaze all over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Cool to room temperature before serving to ensure glaze has soaked in.

Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

White Christmas Pie

Description

20 years ago Russ and I attended a cooking demonstration where a locally owned restaurant demonstrated one of their top selling pies around the Christmas season.  One bite and we were hooked.  Sadly, I completely forgot about this recipe until a few days ago… so I decided to pull it out and dust it off!

Ingredients

2 baked (8”) pie shells (graham cracker crust also works well)

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1/3 cup lemon juice

1/3 cup coconut

1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans are my personal favorite)

1 can (15 oz) crushed pineapple, well drained

1/2 teaspoon pineapple extract

1 container (12 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

Directions

Combine milk, lemon juice, coconut, nuts, pineapple and pineapple flavoring. Stir in whipped topping and pour mixture into pie shells. Chill for 4 hours. 12-16 servings. Note: One 10” pie crust may be substituted for the two 8”. For Christmas, it’s especially festive when you dollop some cherry pie filling on each piece.

Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

Hot Buttered Rum

Description

I’ve always been a Hot Buttered Rum fan, thanks to my dad.  While Russ and were vacationing in New England over the last 2 weeks, I decided to try the Hot Buttered Rum at Maine Craft Distilling in Portland, ME on a very cold day!  It was perfect!  I’m not sure if Russ liked it, though (he’s not a huge fan of hot drinks)… but I was very happy!

Ingredients (4 Drinks)

6 tablespoons salted butter, softened

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon allspice

Ingredients (1 Drink)

1-1/2 tablespoons spiced butter

2 ounces rum

6 ounces boiling water*

Directions (Cocktail)

Make the spiced butter: Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice to your softened butter. Use a spatula to mix the butter together with the sugar and spices until everything is incorporated well. Use immediately or refrigerate until making the drinks. To make the drinks: Add 1-1/2 tablespoons of the spiced butter to each glass. Add rum and boiling water and stir until combined. If you like a sweeter drink, top with whipped cream. Note: *Some recipes use apple cider for a sweeter spin. We prefer drinks that are lightly sweet and boiling water is most traditional.

Russ’s Drink Corner

Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey (A Blend)

Description

The Breckenridge Distillery is the “World’s Highest Distillery”. Founded in 2008, the Breckenridge Distillery is most widely known for its blended bourbon whiskey, a high-rye mash American-style whiskey. Since coming online in 2008 and releasing its first vodka and bourbon three years later, Breckenridge Distillery has quickly become an award-winning producer of fine spirits, being designated one of the top three bourbons in the U.S. How it all came to be, however, stems from a mix of just the right ingredients, a hint of luck and a deep love for quality whiskey. Our award-winning, high-rye Bourbon Whiskey is aged for a minimum of three years, in charred, new American oak barrels, and blended to reveal the unique qualities of the Bourbon Whiskey. Deep, honey-amber hue with pronounced aromas of butterscotch, candied orange and apple; dry cacao and brown sugar envelop the tongue as the spirit lingers with notes of vanilla and white pepper.

Details

Mashbill: 56% corn, 38% rye, 6% barley

Proof: 86 (43% ABV)

Region: Breckenridge, Colorado

Color: Medium caramel

Nose: Raw corn, vanilla, corn, apple juice, butterscotch, oak, mustiness

Taste: Oak, oats, vanilla, various herbs, dried fruit, hazelnut, mineral water, acetone

Finish: Short finish with notes of acetone, flour, raw grain and copper

Price: $45 (750 ml)

Rating: 83
